Ingredient prep day for Brunswick Stew

Friday was the day to prep the ingredients for the Brunswick Stew cook at Jimmy and Regina's church...

Rinsing the chicken to prepare for cooking

Peeling potatoes

Cooking chicken outside

Still peeling potatoes

There were lots of potatoes to peel...

... lots and lots of potatoes.

Did I mention lots of potatoes?

There will also be a thrift store type sale on Saturday so items were on tables in preparation for that.

Cutting up onions

Another view of the thrift sale as well as the potato peeling...

After the potatoes were peeled and cut in quarters, they were sliced by the ladies with the food processor.

After finishing peeling potatoes, the crew moved to chicken-pickin'...

... the stewed chicken was brought in from being cooked outside and we picked it off the bones.

Celery getting prepared for the stew.

Lots of work getting done, also a lot of fun and conversation going on...

Chicken pickin' (those are my blue gloves on the side of the pan in the foreground -- I removed them for taking pictures!)

Lots of work, lots of fun, good preparation to enable the Saturday cook to go well!
